PREFACE

Qüiggin ’S plan included (1) transcripts of all the poems in the Dean’s Book that had not been published by M’Lauchlan, The Dean ofnbsp;Lismore’s Book, 1862, or by Cameron, Reliquiae Gelticae i, 1892, withnbsp;critical editions of such of these poems as have been preserved in othernbsp;MSS.; (2) a translation into English, and (3) a commentary on the matternbsp;of the poemsh A large number of Dublin MSS. had been collated, butnbsp;an edition of only one poem had been completed. The translation wasnbsp;still being revised at the time of the author’s death; and the commentarynbsp;had not taken definite shape.

Of the present publication Quiggin passed for press only the text of the poems. The Catalogue of the Dean’s Book, which contains a greatnbsp;deal of matter not to be found in earlier descriptions of the MS., wasnbsp;found among his papers and is printed without change, apart from thenbsp;omission of scraps of poems in Scots, notes of various kinds in Scotsnbsp;and Latin, and long lists of obits already published in Archaeologianbsp;Scotica III, 318 ff. The Notes on the Text, too, were left in manuscript.

The manuscript transcript of the Dean’s text made by Mr Walter Macleod (Mackinnon, Catalogue, p. 228^) was consulted by Quiggin, andnbsp;alternative readings recorded in the Catalogue and in the Notes to thenbsp;Text come from it.

In the preparation of the Indexes Professor 0’Rahilly's important article, “Indexes to the Book of the Dean of Lismore” in Scottish Gaelicnbsp;Studies IV, 31 ff., has been of great use.

Mrs Quiggin has kindly helped in various ways in the preparation of this book. To her and to the Syndics of the Cambridge University Pressnbsp;are due the thanks of all to whom the publication of Quiggin’s Reliquiaenbsp;will be welcome.

' Quiggin had originally intended to add a transliteration into normal orthography of the pieces known only from the Dean’s Book, but this part of the plan was abandoned asnbsp;impracticable.

^ Of the two transcripts made by Ewen Maclachlan about the beginning of last century one is deposited in the National Library of Scotland and the other is the property of thenbsp;Aberdeen University Library. The latter, which the courtesy of the Librarian has enablednbsp;me to examine, is incomplete and shows occasional attempts at emendation of the original.nbsp;Quiggin appears not to have made much use of Maclaehlan’s transcripts.

EDMUND CROSBY QUIGGIN

The death of Edmund Crosby Qiiiggin' on the 4th of January 1920 put an end to a short career of scientific activity which had achievednbsp;much and which promised much more. At the time of his death Quigginnbsp;occupied a unique position among Celtic scholars. The trend of Celticnbsp;studies has alwaj^s been in the direction of specialisation in Irish, andnbsp;most students who have approached the subject from the outside, thatnbsp;is, almost exclusively, from the linguistic side, have been content to treatnbsp;the other Celtic languages as subsidiary. The appearance of Quiggin’snbsp;contributions to the 11th edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica showednbsp;that he was advancing along the whole front of Celtic studies, investigatingnbsp;not only the external form of the languages but the development of theirnbsp;literature as well.

Quiggin sometimes insisted modestly that he was not a “philologist,” and it is true that he had no great interest in the more airy sort ofnbsp;etymological speculation. But he was an observer of unrivalled skill ofnbsp;the actual facts of language. His Dialect of Donegal presented Celticnbsp;scholars with an instrument of research new in their field, and has servednbsp;as a model for brilliant work by others. Other works of the same kindnbsp;were planned. In the course of visits to the Hebrides and to Brittanynbsp;Quiggin made collections from local dialects, but his investigations intonbsp;the sound systems of Scottish Gaelic and Breton are represented onlynbsp;by short notes published in the Revue Celtique and the Transactions ofnbsp;the Cambridge Philological Society. He had made considerable progressnbsp;with an elaborate study of the spoken Welsh of North Pembrokeshire.nbsp;Wherever Quiggin went in districts of Celtic speech he immediately gotnbsp;into touch with those from whom he could learn, accompanying countrynbsp;postmen on their rounds, or taking the place of the village shopkeepernbsp;at his counter.

^ Notices appeared in The Caian, xxviii (Sir William Eidgeway), Revue Celtique, xxxviii (J. Vendryes), Indogermanisches Jahrbuch, vii (E. Ban). Quiggin was born in Cheadle,nbsp;Staffordshire, in 1873 of a family of Manx origin. From Kingswood School, Bath, he wentnbsp;up to Cambridge in 1893 as a Scholar of Cains College (Modern Language Tripos, Germanicnbsp;Philology, 1897). He spent the years 1898—1900 at the Universities of Greifswald andnbsp;Leipzig, and returned in the latter year to Cambridge as Fellow of Caius. Thenceforwardnbsp;he taught for the College and the University in the Faculty of Modem Languages. In 1909nbsp;Caius College founded for him the Munro Lectureship in Celtic.

During the War Quiggin served first at Le Havre and, from 1916, at the Admiralty. Later, he was attached to the British Delegation to the Peace Conference.

X nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Edmund Crosby Qiiiggin

Side by side with his studies of the living languages Quiggin was carrying on investigations connected with the literary history of Irelandnbsp;and Wales. About 1919 he spoke of plans for securing the co-operationnbsp;of a number of young Welsh scholars for a systematic study of thenbsp;Cynfeirdd; he evidently felt that for discovery of new material earlynbsp;Welsh literature now offered a more promising field than Irish. Butnbsp;these were plans for the future. At the time he was immersed, as henbsp;had been for over ten years, in the preparation of editions of two collections of Irish bardic verse, the unpublished religious and encomiasticnbsp;poems in the Book of the Dean of Lismore, and, as a sort of supplementnbsp;to them, the Duanaire in the Yellow Book of Lecan. Some idea of thenbsp;scope and extent of his long study of Irish MSS. can be got from hisnbsp;Prolegomena, an admirable survey of the history of a literary formnbsp;scarcely known at the time except to readers of Manuscripts. But thenbsp;Prolegomena does not utilise at all the vast mass of illustrative materialnbsp;which Quiggin had collected from the popular religious and devotionalnbsp;literature of mediaeval Europe. This was to have been incorporated innbsp;a Commentary on the poems from the Dean’s Book. The Prolegomenanbsp;appeared in 1913, and in the following year Quiggin had to turn hisnbsp;energies also to other pursuits remote from scholarship, and wore himselfnbsp;out in serving learning and his country.

There are two copies of this poem in the MS., one at p. 37 and the other at p. 157. The text given is that on the latter page with the exception of stanzanbsp;6 which is wanting in the other copy. At p. 37 the title runs A houd’ Duncanbsp;m“ CallaN. I give the first 5 stanzas of the earlier copy to show the inconsistency of Macgregor’s orthography:
